MediHealth - Neuron
Neuron is just a fancy name for a type of brain cell. They are also sometimes called a nerve cell. Neurons send messages by zapping each other with a little zap of electricity. These electrical messages are carried by neurotransmitters and are the instructions from your brain that tell your body what to do. They let you think, taste, move, play, smell, hear, watch TV - EVERYTHING!!
